Hi,

Carrie is a USB DAC is coupled to the amplifier.

- use Hammond 1455C801BK case (aluminum end panels)

- Switchcraft output jack

- 12V (+/- 6V) regulated for Mini3

- use mini USB jack for DAC

 

Asking for $150 shipped worldwide using Indonesian EMS (less than 7 days).

 

Thanks

Hey I've got a non-head-fier friend interested in this.  What kind of impedance headphones can you run with the 5x gain?  250ohm Beyers?

 

Also, hows the imagery/separation and soundstage increase that you've noticed?  I've never had a chance to hear a Mini3.

CARRIE amp does not use an adapter or batteries.

Power source only comes from USB (5V for GrubDAC) and using a DC to DC step up (5V to 15V), regulated to 12V and is set to be divided by the TLE2426 to + / - 6V (for Mini3 amp).

 

So the CARRIE amp is very convenient to carry around. You only need a USB cable.
